Earlier this month we showed you a pair of Manny Pacquiao Trainer 1s. Here is a Nike Trainer 1 sample not scheduled for release created for the Oregon Ducks. These Trainers 1s feature a mostly black and white upper with accents of dark green. The heel collar has been wrapped in a concrete print with a bright yellow twill swoosh. These samples sit on a green midsole and a yellow free sole with a visible air unit. There is also a winged O on the heel to represent the Oregon Ducks. As mentioned before these are a sample and are not scheduled for release, even though we may want them to be. Via SoleCollector

A week or two ago we showed you Steve Nash’s signature shoe, the Nike Cradle Rock Low away edition, followed by last week’s look at this home version.

We know that a lot of you out there have been drooling over the “Red Carpet” edition of the Air Max LeBron VII since we first gave you a sneak preview back in August. King James debuted the new colorway against the Knicks at the Garden last week, and now they can finally be yours. The Red Carpets have just been released in very limited quantities and can be found at the New York, Chicago and Los Angeles House of Hoops locations, as well as the 34th St. Foot Locker in NYC. There’s no doubt that these will go fast, so if you’re near one of those spots, act fast or you’ll miss them. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

What better way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Reebok Pump than to bring back the Bring Back, the shoe that started it all. At the time of their original release, Nike and Reebok were in a head to head battle for sneaker supremacy, and with Nike’s introduction of “Air” technology, Reebok needed something big to stand their ground. Their solution was The Pump, part technological innovation, part brilliant gimmick, but undeniably an intriguing concept. In 1989, Reebok introduced the Bring Back basketball model along with their “Pump Up and Air Out” ad campaign. The shoe sported a very high cut with the inflatable Pump mechanism in the tongue and a release valve on the back of the heel.
To celebrate the model’s 20th birthday, Reebok will be honoring The Pump with their 20 retailer collaborations, and will also re-release the original Bring Back in two OG colorways. Just like the retailer collabs, the OG’s will be extremely limited in quantity, 29 pairs of each colorway, all tagged with a “# of 29″ label co-branded by one of the Pump20 collaboration partners. Like the retailer-designed creations, these classics will be available on November 20th only at Packer Shoes and the other 19 Pump20 collaborators.

The adidas Forum Mid Plant is part of this year’s Five Two 3 Plants Pack by Adidas Originals, and are inspired by the nature around us. There are some nicely executed nature details on this shoe. The toe and side panels have been embossed with a leaf pattern and the outsole is brown with small speckles to represent soil. A small detail that stands out among the rest is the green vine illustrated on the heel and tongue that turns the adidas symbol into a pant. The green pops off the all white leather upper and give these adidas Forum Mid a clever accent that shows the inspirations from nature. These adidas Forum Mid Plant can be purchased now at Schuyou

You may have already seen some of adidas’ recent collab works in the form of the Madsaki Samba and the Dalek Forum Mid. But what you may have overlooked is that these two are part of the new adidas Originals Five-Two 3 City Artist Pack. So we already know that New York and Japan are being represented. But who are the other international three privileged to be part of the collection?
Pochoir, of London, lays some design upon a Superstar. A smooth grey tint for the upper with blue hits reminds us of the Blue Note Pro Model adidas made last year as part of the Sounds of the City Pack. The brick pattern along the heel is probably some type of tribute to his street environment where he usually creates his works. The Stan Smith was blessed by Paris- illustrtor KRSN. His French background is apparent in the gold fleur-di-lis, found on a deep blue nubuck upper. Lastly, adidas chose Fakso to work on a Nizza. Predominantly a black shoe, the medial upper becomes a canvas to simulate the rawness the Milan photographer captures in his photos. All different, yet wonderfully unique, pairs to shoe the creativity and diversity of global output. via HB

We gave you a heads up on both of these Auto Force 180′s. Staying true to the sample we showed, the upper sticks with the nubuck/ patent combo. Hyper Blue and Lime really set this pair off, which should get a big response. The other pair also shows no difference from the looksee, having a more simpler design choice. The traditional color choice of all black with a white midsole, with a mix for nubuck and leather is pleasing for the purist of sneakerheads. Whichever your preference, jump over to Finishline to cop the Black/ Hyper Blue or the all Black. Or maybe even both Auto Force 180′s.

Last weekend, we gave you a detailed look at the Black/Orion Blue edition of the upcoming CP3.III, and now we turn our attention to another colorway that gives us an even better view of the intricate details that grace the shoe. For Chris Paul’s third signature model from Jordan Brand, the design sticks to the same theme of ornate detailing that we saw on the CP3.II, but presents itself in a more simplistic way. The upper features a combination of White patent and full-grain leather surrounding an illustrated midpanel that features a decorative pattern comprised of Paul’s initials and the very-New Orleans fleur-de-lis symbol weaved into an elaborate coat-of-arms design. A speckled Black midsole and ankle collar and some splashes of Varsity Red finish off the color scheme, giving the shoe a clean look that accentuates the detailing more clearly than the tonal Black version that we first showed you. If you’re a fan of the Jordan CP line or have become one as a result of these pics, be aware that this colorway will be hitting JB retailers this coming January. Via FootLockerUnlocked.

A few days back, we gave you a sneak peek at the newest edition to the LIVESTRONG Retro collection, a revamped version of UNDFTD’s “ONYOURFEETKID” Air Force 1. Now we have our best look yet at this intriguing new offering. As you can see, the upper features a combination of materials, with Varsity Maize leather on the rear section and heel tab and the familiar “shemagh” pattern and material covering the front half of the shoe. A Vandal-esque Black piping spices up the design a little, and the medial side of the shoe sports a yellow Swoosh instead of the Black of the outer half. As already discussed, the final touch comes courtesy of the “ONYOURBIKEKID” text that appears along the leather-covered midsole. If you like what you see, these will be hitting New Zealand’s Qubic tomorrow, Friday November 13th and you can check out some more pics after the jump.
